My daughter loves these shoes. She doesn't require any arch support and would rather be barefoot so these were the perfect choice for tramping all over Yellowstone for 2 weeks. They held up great.

The swimmers were so beautiful and cute. My only problems with them were the fact that the amount of sole at the toe of the foot really threw my daughter off guard. She fell and scraped herself up so many times in these shoes.
Also I read so many reviews that it had moderate arch support and I really don't believe that it does. The shoe slightly curves around the sole of the foot, but does not hit the arch at all.
Cute swimmers, I can see myself purchasing these every summer for her.

These are my 3-year-old son's favorites. They were originally for a summer wedding and now he wants to wear them daily. He has Tevas and Crocs, but always prefers his Salt Water Sandals, even for the park. They fit pretty true to size, maybe a half size big. A great, classic, well-made sandal. A very European look for a little boy.

My 7 year old daughter has not taken these shoes off since she got them. They are great - and very cute!

We really enjoy these sandals. Both my daughters have been wearing these for the last couple years.

The fit is excellent. No rubbing/blistering from day one. I wore them as a kid and they're just as cool now.

We ordered these shoes for my seven year old daughter who wears a size 3 despite her young age. We'd spent a whole day in the mall looking for cute sandals that were durable, comfortable and cute, but most were cheaply made (even in this price range), left red marks immediately, and, worst of all, had inappropriately high heels! I decided to look online, and the reviews on these convinced me to try them. These were shipped and received sooner than expected, and were immediately comfortable. She can get them on and off quickly and easily, and after three weeks, they still look great. We chose the version with the thicker sole for comfort, as we go for long walks, and she's never complained about them. The sole is grippy enough that she can run and play, and her teacher is okay with her wearing them in gym class because it's non-marking and almost sneaker like. The toes are open, but she's played soccer at recess in them just fine. We both like them, me because they're age-appropriate and she because they're comfortable and she loves the color and that she can get them wet if we happen to play at a park with a splash pad. We'll be buying these every year and they're great.

Bought these shoes in a slightly larger size for room to grow in, no problems, just adjust buckle. This sole is better than original which can be slippery.

These are wonderful shoes. I have bought a pair each summer for my daughter (although they would be fine for boys too). They can go from a puddle to the playground to something fancy. The colors are delightful too. I may have to get a pair for myself!

I grew up wearing these sandals and bought them for my children each summer. Now, I have been buying them for my granddaughter! So comfy, last all summer and they look good despite being in river water many times.

The only summer sandal you will need. Perfect for the park/sand/water/streets.

Good quality leather and the thick cushiony sole affords support and safety for the active child.

Well made, absolutely darling, cherry red as pictured, and true to size. Ordered for my 3yo daughter whose feet measure 21cm heel to toe, which is almost exactly a toddler size 7. Despite reviews saying to order smaller, I ordered these sandals in size 7 and they fit her great! She won't take them off! She has about 1.5cm of grow room at the toe-not enough to trip her up, just a little extra wiggle room. Leather is soft and I don't see any staples or 'cheap' workmanship as was mentioned in a few reviews for the brighter colors. The sole is really nice; soft and grippy, much more realistic than the'original' slippery treadless sole, great for outdoor and water play. Would order these for myself if I could find them in a grownup size!

Loved these shoes--child could wear them immediately without rubbing skin. Even stayed white after testing in swampy water!

The leather is so soft and buttery. My daughter loves them on and never wants to take them off. They fit great and they look great with everything. I'd definitely buy another pair.

Shoe is attractive. Style would work best for a person who needs extra room for a thick foot or who has a high arch. Foot bed is firm. Otherwise, a very comfortable, flexible shoe.

Sandal perfection! Soft leather, flexible, and grippy sole. Red is gorgeous. We followed our friend's advice on molding the shoe to your kid’s feet...for the first wear, wet the sandal completely, and wear them until they dry out. My kid’s feet often get blisters from new shoes, not this one; therefore, if I could give it 6 stars I would.

Fit was true to size, these sandals really stood up to the wear and tear of an active 2 year old!

Super cute and durable. My 4.5 year old daughter loves them! She usually takes a 9.5 so we ordered a 9 (based on reviews) and they fit every well. Additionally, the urethane sole is very grippy - perfect play shoes. I do wish Zappos carried these in women\'s sizes!

Such a cute shoe. Unfortunately, they rubbed a little bit inside the ankle the first time. They probably needed to be broken in by my daughter wearing them around for a day with socks on or something, but now they are great. Super cute and timeless, get compliments every time she wears them.

Yes these are great we had the classic sole last summer in white, which we liked. However this softer sole is more comfortable and the red is a more practical color. A great all round summer sandal which you can also get wet. Love it!

Cute! Very versatile and they're cute enough for being quite dressy but can be worn to the beach too! I like the gum sole better than the classic flat bottom for little ones, since it is more cushioned. If your 2 year old is like mine, they run more than they walk no matter what they're wearing. My daughter is pretty picky about shoes and won't even let me finish putting them on her if they seem uncomfortable, but she loves these. I'm so glad we got them.
